We all have stories to tell. They shed light on who we are and who we want to be. They make us laugh and cry but mostly, they’re just asking to be set free... What’s your story?

Christopher Rivas has done several unbelievably successful workshops at my Museum. He takes a group of strangers and opens them up to the possibilities of their talents, their emotions, and new relationships friendships.

While the workshop is always run incredibly smoothly and professionally, that doesn’t stop people from feeling comfortable enough to be vulnerable and open to constructive criticism and opportunities in their lives that they hadn’t seen before.... I will continue to work with Christopher Rivas again and again.

— Alexis Hyde, Director of Museum of Broken Relationships

Chris Rivas’ storytelling lab was transformational for our company culture. It helped us to better articulate our vision, company mission, and brand ideals, as well as deepening and solidifying relationships of trust and respect within the office. Many of the tools we learned during the sessions with Chris we continue to use when brainstorming new marketing campaigns, product development, and as team building exercises.

I highly recommend bringing Chris into any group looking to develop their true voice and tap into their inspiration and ideas.

Radical Storytelling: “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence. It is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” - Audre Lorde

“Radical Storytelling” is a way of gaining access to self care. Becoming sensitive to the stories we tell can rewire the brain to see what "we have," not simply "what we don't have." Each story revealed and spoken can heal wounds both recent and systemic. Small or large, regardless, the body knows them and is ready to set them free. Together we'll transform your understanding of traumatic stress, revealing how it literally creates stories to rearrange the brain’s wiring—specifically areas dedicated to safety, pleasure, engagement, control, and trust. This work offers alternatives to drugs and talk therapy—and a way to reclaim lives.

Spiritual Storytelling: Dedicated to the wisdom within our personal stories.

We are always telling and believing stories, whether we know it or not. Within these stories are the keys and wisdom needed to know who we really are. Our stories reveal us, they're like missing puzzle pieces we weren't able to find before. These truths have the potential to deepen our spiritual life and practice, and allow us to turn the wounds into scars.
